This post is historic!
It is the first ever post I am writing on this blog in the “Metal Head Diary” format.Last night I decided that I am not going to give up blogging after all.Yes,I know there are enough blogs out there maintained by people who “assume” they know what they are talking about and [...]

I’ve been away from the better part of the blogosphere for some time.Reason:I flew from Colombo to Minnesota and it took a decent amount of time preparing to leave,leaving (meaning flying)and some more time to getting settled.So anyways,I am back and I am ready to blog.
Most of the time-here on metal cracker-I write stuff that is [...]

To all those “less-awesome” people who don’t listen to Bruce Dickinson’s Friday Rock Show on BBC-6 (I mena what the ??? ) Lemmy appeared on last night’s show. Yeah I know,that it self is a treat-Lemmy being interviewed by Bruce but the real treat? Bruce played “Runaround man”, “Rock Out” and “1000 names of God”. [...]

OK,I know I haven’t been writing for the past four days.Been too busy with a band interview,preparations for an acoustic performance and my own lazy self!Whtaever.The good news is I am back.
Nothing feels better than seeing a lot of Motorhead in the news,when you haven’t been aware of what’s being happening lately in our better,louder,”fuck-you-if-you-are-not-part-of-it” [...]

 
SlipKnot are in the process of delivering some major ass this time around.This is probably the sixth or seventh time I am writing about them here.There are breaking forward a lot from that “Side-Project” element that’s been haunting their music lately.Another single-”Psychosocial” (yes,I know it doesn’t sound very SlipKnotty compared to titles like “I am hated”) is [...]

In an earlier post I said that I was loving what I heard in the new SlipKnot single “All Hope is Gone”-got a few comments from two dudes who seemed to be in their early teens and touching weird places on their bodies-looking at Fred Durst’s pictures.They had also completely lost what I said but Hornet [...]

And earlier this year my world was about to break into pieces when I saw Mark “Barney” Greenway’s (Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror) comments on Slayer.If I remember it right what he said was something like “I’d be surprised if Slayer were around this time next year — put it like that.” More here at [...]
